I swear the words MALK and BORT cross my mind 8 times a day.

Thinking of what custom license plate to get on the RS 5. VITAMIN-R won't fit so I might just go with MALK.

Oh no, does it mean like weird AI-pilled tech bro or something?

My pfp makes me look like a grump. I should probably change it.

I shoulda said: "Make your waking tunes your walking tunes!"

Turns out my coax splitter has a built-in amplifier so all I needed was some rabbit ears and I'm in mini tv heaven!

Nabbed this new old stock clock radio that has a DETACHABLE tape deck. Take your waking tunes on the go!! Love it!

A black clock radio with blue and white accents and red clock digits. There are 2 round knobs for tuning and volume and several buttons for adjusting the time and alarm. There is a detachable tape deck on the right side that says STEREO in large white letters.

When William Hung was rejected by the American Idol judges, he responded with "I already gave my best and I have no regrets at all." Fantastic mindset. Legend.

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. Probably the best game to have on Steam Deck. I play the daily mission every day and the weekly mission every week. It needs more content.

TF2. The game that helped break my WoW addiction. Still play it today.

100

WoW. Ugh, don't ask. Played way too much and was heavily addicted for a long time.

100

Deus Ex. Played it a ton during college. Great memories.

100

Half-Life. Also not much to say. Fantastic game that I played over and over throughout my college years.

100

Quake, Quake II, and Q3 Arena I probably could have played professionally had I kept at it. My first intro to online deathmatch and I was online pretty much constantly. I won my copy of Q3 Arena in a raffle from the official website.

100

DOOM. Not much to say here. I never owned it but I played it a lot at friend's houses.

100

Wolfenstein 3D on my family's Mac Quadra 605 was my first introduction to first person shooters and I still love them today.

100

Number Munchers on the Apple II was probably the first real video game I really played. I was in first grade and I played in my elementary school's computer lab. Very likely the origin of my love of math, which I ultimately got my degree in.

100

Those were the best. Probably considered a fire hazard now or something

Replaced 9 light bulbs in my house today. My wife didn't buy my reasoning that I was just trying to save $ on electricity.

Return Fire is... not great.

A screenshot of Windows 95 desktop with a small window titled AutoRun for playing the game Return Fire. There is a picture of a tank and a helicopter with options for Configure, Uninstall, Help, Quit, and Play

A screenshot of the game Return Fire on Windows 95. It shows a screen where you can choose your vehicle: helicopter, tank, a large bus looking thing, and a 4x4 jeep.

Oh, thanks for the pointer! I didn't know things just worked in reverse like that. There's something about these little mini B&W TVs that I love.

I need to waste more money on vintage electronics so I have things to post about.

This is amazing and exactly what I am looking for. I did something similar recently but without the aerial signal. What device is that that transmits the signal over the air? bsky.app/profile/aner...

Welp, time to switch from AC to heat.

"Maybe next year, Mariners" I mumble to myself for the 32nd year in a row.

This ghost pepper cheese from the WSU creamery is delicious and doesn't mess around.

Coming to terms with the idea that the two skills I possess that brought me much of my success and happiness—coding and speed—have lost a lot of their value.

Are they artificially inflating gas prices to speed up adoption of EVs?
